I understand the importance of “dissemination” but right now for me, like someone else described it…it feels daunting. The old saying goes… “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” I have been in a cult that forced “dissemination” to incredible heights. It was painful and at times a cruel and grueling experience. Maybe it’s a bit of PTSD. I just don’t want a repeat of where I’ve been so painfully in the past. They purported to have that ‘Biblical love for one another’ but it felt more like love for performance. So, it might take a bit of time for me to see through my own experience. I’m confident that I will. It will just take time. My heart is in the right place, but I’m just not in a place where I can start proselytizing Kabbalah. I’m new at this. I’m learning. I believe it will take some living in it to get past my past.

I m really unsure about some of what is being presented.  Is this really all there is?  I m sure its true that the Creator is the source of all things – and there are so many other parts of the Kabbalah, all of which have additional and very beautiful spiritual wisdoms, that I wonder about the next steps as presented here as a narrow focus.

KabU says that there is only one, tiny, space where we have free will, and that is whether we choose to freely follow the will of the Creator.   Does it follow that the only way of fulfilling the will of the Creator is to work in a group of 10, focused on disemminating the work of KabU as the means of salvation ?  Feels like a Catch 22.   And, if I question this, it s coming from my ego, which needs correcting by my group of 10.  Feels like a catch 22, again.

Was it really

I tried to log into FaceBook, but was unable to get through to the website, so I went to the video on YouTube instead, and I am blown away by how incredibly wonderful and inspiring the comments are, that everybody have written and posted there.

I do intend to write and post a comment there myself, but I don’t want to rush it and risk posting something that doesn’t do KabU and Kabbalah justice, so I have to take a little extra time and try to get it right.

I am grateful to be among such wonderful people, and by that I mean both students, instructors, and (of course) our one and only Rav, Doctor Michael Laitman.

Thank you, everybody!… I hope you have all had some blessed and inspiring holidays! 🙂

Okay, I posted a comment. It reads as follows:

“Somebody asked me what I would say to somebody like myself, if they came apon the video on this page. I didn’t quite know what to say because to be honest, I haven’t met anybody else like me. But I thought it over, and here is what I came up with:

Hi,
you probably already know that you are interested in Kabbalah, in finding out what it is really about, and that is why you are here now. So, is this real Kabbalah? Is it true Kabbalah? Is it the ‘right’ Kabbalah, and is it right for you?

Only you can answer that question, but in order to do so you have to check it out, and luckily that is easily done. All you have to do is visit the website that is being linked to in the description below the video. Once you visit the website, you will very quickly find out if this is something you think might be holding answers that you have wanted to know about for most of your life.

Best of luck, my friend. Should you decide to join us in the study of this old and new wisdom, I wish you a warm: Welcome! 🙂 “

More and more I am finding about the seriousness and responsibility of our mission together. The group session was very much an introduction to conversations above our differences. I know and expect with a degree of certainty the onset of differences as we progress but we can certainly rise above them with help – we have to.

[Jarrett Twaddle]

I like how we break dissimulation down into 3 categories – two of them direct and one indirect. Frankly, I feel like the indirect approach is always the most effective unless you get into a conversation where something about it is pressing you to mention the wisdom. Even still, I like what Rav says about dissemination inasmuch that mankind today doesn’t even necessarily need to know that they’re practicing Kabbalah (in some cases it might be helpful if they didn’t) in order for the world to change.

I found the idea of dissemination daunting …because I have, and I feel a large group in society has also , an unwritten rule that you should not push your spiritual beliefs on to those around you .
I will certainly disseminate to those that ask and are curious , for example my daughter asked me about the courses and we discussed the Kabbalah .
We agreed that quite a few basic tennets of Kabbalah were very “on poin”t!!:

the identification of ego as mans undoing was a definite truth;
the understanding that we can no longer go on as a species exploiting each other and the earth;
the feeling that we are heading for some final irredeemable tipping point;
fundamental behaviour and intent has to change or we are doomed .
